Re: Two different 3500 point lists for friendly game against List one: - like the character setup, especially that oldblood - mean combo! - core, saurus hordes? Cohort, poison attacks seem a bit pricey. Probably could use another 1-2 units of skirmishers imo - Chamos, 2 units would be better no? Swarms, only need 1 unit? Stegadon, would be better upgraded to an ancient? - seem bad on paper, but maybe a troglodon would be good with all the saurus blocks? List two: - always seem fragile with no slann. I'd probably drop the razordons and mount up the scar vet on another carnosaur - for the oldblood, i'm not sure of the need for defensive items as most of the time people will attack the carnosaur anyway. Either that or go the whole hog and get crown of command in there to keep at least the general in play! tbh, not used to playing as much as 3500, let us know how it goes!
Re: Two different 3500 point lists for friendly game against For what it's worth I have a few weeks to ponder this. We have never played a game this big before, but we've played a lot of games and his lists have strong similariies. He usually takes a big unit of Savage Orcs and a unit of Night Goblins. He ALWAYS takes a Mangler Squig and just bought a second one so he might bring both. I can be 99% certain he'll bring an orc chariot, some wolf riders, or some spider riders if not all of the above. Trolls and giants are a near certainty. Some combination of Doom Divers, Rock Lobbas, and Spear Chukkas is likely. I'm going to guess with this high points level he'll blow the dust off one or more of his least favorite units just for experimental purposes and surprise with me something new, though he clearly favors a small subset of units his collection of O&G is huge.
